    Its really such a shame ERA is calculated the way it is, since it made Zambrano's last start overpower his previous awesome starts and now looks like semi bloated 3.22. Well, bloated for big Z that is. In the end he may have given up 9 earned runs, but that can only cost him 1 game in the standings, ah well, there are better metrics out there. Go out and dominate, please. Sweep 'em if possible, but a series win is good enough. Z and Dempster in the series should at least guarantee that.

    Of course we can, David Even bad pitchers record more outs than runs
  3. BigSlick
    I don't care if he doesn't walk people I don't care You have to cut him

    Why is Howry still in the major leagues? I mean I guess I could keep asking this, but he can't consistently get outs and just gives up hard hit balls
  5. BigSlick
    Why? It's just a bruise. Not like sitting on the bench is gonna help it any. This has nothign to do with the injury getting worse, it has everything to do with him not being able to play at his best ability If you are uncomfortable and can't have an easy swing you wont play well. This might happen with a left hip contusion

    Incredible. Lilly with an easy 1-2-3 inning. Why couldn't he have done that against the bottom of their order last time?????
  7. BigSlick
    Gosh Aramis please be okay, now we have to lay another 5 runs on them to make me feel better
  8. BigSlick
    Well, lets see how Lilly gives up more runs I mean we all know he will just how is the question Also be okay Ramirez, plz?

    I care more about them calling a curveball strike a curveball strike. In fact almost all the success a lefty pitcher has who is not named Randy Johnson is if the ump actually calls his curveball a strike anywhere. (They rarely do)

    top 7 still scoreless at least Peavy has a more durable arm on him than Sheets, thats my only hope here
  11. BigSlick
    Hey padres, win a stupid game you losers
  12. BigSlick
    Wow if I was Sheets I'd be super pissed they threw me that lineup against Peavy Of course they still will score 7 runs, regardless

    I don't believe a guy who tore both his ACLs should try pitching at all this year But whatever, if he wants to potentially ruin his career its his perogative
  14. BigSlick
    Terrible, horrible and awful. The most painful thing about it is these teams will fight tooth and claw when we see them, we all know when the Nationals come to town they wont pull their "4 runs in a 4 game series" act

    It might not be a popular choice, but I would think Theriot needs to be in the top 5. He has been consistently good all year while playing every day, unlike Soriano, Soto, and Edmunds. I could not agree more. When I saw the list of the original 5, my first thought was that Theriot was not there. He does play every day and his defense is good. He's often and unsung hero, not a lot of flash, but I don't think the Cubs are where they are without him. He doesn't play everyday, his defense isn't that good, and he's only marginally productive. He plays a premium defensive position at about an average level (check any advanced metric you like, he's not terrible defensively) and has an OBP darn near .400. I don't care about the rest, thats enough to make him more than 'marginally' productive.

    Good lord I hate the Padres. They fought the hell out of us, made every match a game and didn't go away quietly. Of course they will pack it in vs. the Brewers
  17. BigSlick
    Whatever, they are basically irrelevant at this point. We all need to just root against the Brewers.
  18. BigSlick
    Cubs up 8-0 I HAVE TO USE CARLOS MARMOL MY N AME IS LOU PINIELLA
  19. BigSlick
    Scary yet true. Thats Tony Pena Jr.-esque.
  20. BigSlick
    Why is everyone lolling soriano?
  21. BigSlick
    This is dumb if he could have gotten through six with less than four runs allowed I would be happy at this point. Seems like an early hook to me. What's dumber is that Cotts is most likely not going to face another batter. With Rich "I'm afraid of the sixth inning" Harden coming up our bullpen might be in trouble tonight, somehow vindicating these annoying announcers
  22. BigSlick
    I agree with this only because today we're in a double header
  23. BigSlick
    Honestly these Braves announcers don't seem enthused by anything, when they called the Edmonds home run (I just saw the highlight) they pretty much approached it like a foul ball until it went over the wall.

    I just turned teh game on, but Marquis wasn't making anyone miss, that at bat with Casey Kotchman and Infante is telling Did he look that way the whole time and get lucky or did he have them under control?
